He's a guy that can change the game with his defense," Bucks big man Bobby Portis said after Game 5.
Picks up guys full-court sometimes and he has his other times where he picks them up at the half-court. Despite the success, however, he was not considered a building block for the franchise, and he was traded to the New Orleans Pelicans for two first-round picks as the infamous Sam Hinkie-led "Process" kicked off in earnest in Philadelphia.ĭuring his time in New Orleans, Holiday was frequently at the top of the list of All-Star snubs and a common answer to the question, "who is the league's most underrated player?" When the Pelicans traded him to the Milwaukee Bucks before last season, the price of two first-round picks and two pick swaps was considered excessively hefty for a player of Holiday's stature.Īll he's done since then is continue to prove the doubters wrong, helping to lead the Bucks to their first title in 50 years in 2021 and getting them within one game of their second-straight Eastern Conference finals appearance after a thrilling 110-107 Game 5 comeback win over the Boston Celtics on Wednesday.īUCKS GO UP 3-2.

Boston parlayed a 51-win season and second-place Eastern Conference finish to the Celtics first trip to the NBA Finals since 2009-2010. The "Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown can't co-exist" myth has finally been disproved. His 1.6 steals per game round out a nice fantasy profile for the 32-year-old point guard. Holiday played 67 games, with over 50 percent efficiency for the second consecutive season. Limited ceiling but great floor if you went risky with your build early.Ī very solid "third tenor" of the Milwaukee Bucks, Jrue Holiday crested 40% from deep with a career-high 41.1% 3P on 321 attempts. He's underrated in fantasy once again.Īnother boring player in all the right ways.
